A British woman who served with the Royal Air Force for the last two months of World War I was the last known veteran of the war when she died in her sleep Saturday night. Florence Green joined the RAF at the age of 17 and died just before her 111th birthday, which would have been Feb. 19. She had been a mess steward with the air force, the BBC reported, serving in two U.K. air bases after she joined up on Sept. 13 1918. The Allies signed the armistice with Germany on Nov. 11, 1918. Green follows Claude Choules, a Royal Navy sailor who was the last WWI combatant before he died in May 2011, and Frank Buckles, the last American veteran of the war, who died in February 2011. So long, Florence Green, we hardly knew ye. [link | link]

Okay, so we've got a game challenge today and we're going to make a littl emusic while we're doing it. A Symphony, in fact. Move the arrows around to filter the colored sand through the appropriate circles to create musical notes. The first few levels are sort of easy mindless ones, to familiarize you with the mechanice of the game, about 6th movement or so, things start to get interesting. I've made it to Movement 2, Stage 9.

During Media Week at Lucas Oil Stadium, the lovely host of Extra, Maria Menounos, explained to Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski a Super Bowl bet she had agreed to with her correspondent, A.J. Calloway. According to Maria, the bet called for her to do Monday's show in a Giants bikini if they beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. And as we all know, Tom Brady choked. Again. And so making good on her bet, here is Maria Menounos in a Giants bikini, camel toe and all. In related news, boy, Gisele Bundchen sure has put on a little weight, amirite?

Déjà vu (literally "already seen") is the experience of feeling sure that one has already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the prior encounter are uncertain and were perhaps imagined. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book L'Avenir des sciences psychiques, which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of eeriness, strangeness, weirdness, or what Sigmund Freud calls the uncanny. The previous experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience has genuinely happened in the past.

Pine trees are among the most commercially important of tree species, valued for their timber and wood pulp throughout the world. In temperate and tropical regions, they are fast-growing softwoods that will grow in relatively dense stands, their acidic decaying needles inhibiting the sprouting of competing hardwoods. Commercial pines are grown in plantations for timber that is denser, more resinous, and therefore more durable than spruce. Knotty pine wood is widely used in high-value carpentry items such as furniture, window frames, panelling, floors and roofing, and the resin of some species is an important source of turpentine.

Cells of the immune system protect the body against pathogens. If cells in our bodies are infected by viruses, or become cancerous, then killer cells of the immune system identify and destroy the affected cells. Cytotoxic T cells are very precise and efficient killers. They are able to destroy infected or cancerous cells, without destroying healthy cells surrounding them. By understanding how this works, we can develop ways to control killer cells. This will allow us to find ways to improve cancer therapies, and ameliorate autoimmune diseases caused when killer cells run amok and attack healthy cells in our bodies. With that in mind, Samuel William "Bill" Hinzman was an American actor and film director. Hinzman's first role was the cemetery zombie in the horror film Night of the Living Dead in 1968. Hinzman died on Sunday, February 5, 2012 from cancer.

Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic, multicellular, benthic marine algae. The term includes some members of the red, brown and green algae. Two specific environmental requirements dominate seaweed ecology. These are the presence of seawater (or at least brackish water) and the presence of light sufficient to drive photosynthesis. Another common requirement is a firm attachment point. As a result, seaweeds most commonly inhabit the littoral zone and within that zone more frequently on rocky shores than on sand or shingle. Seaweeds occupy a wide range of ecological niches. The highest elevation is only wetted by the tops of sea spray, the lowest is several meters deep. In some areas, littoral seaweeds can extend several miles out to sea. The limiting factor in such cases is sunlight availability.

Good ol' supervillains. They're the eternal underdogs; constantly having to put up with pesky heroes who come bounding into their underground/volcanic/moonbase lair – all white teeth and goody two-shoes – messing up a perfectly good plan for world domination just because some liberal somewhere said: “Ummm killing millions of people is, like, bad, OK?” Worst of all, the heroes always win. Despite the lack of job satisfaction, there is no shortage of supervillains out there in the world of comic book movie adaptations, and in a genre where even the superheroes wear look-at-me spandex, it's pretty hard to make yourself stand out from the crowd. But there is one particular category of villainy that is rather notable (for the male fans at least): that of the supervillain babe. She's the bad girl who would kick your puny human ass while wearing less clothes than a naturist in July. She's the devil with an angel's face. She's the – well you get the idea… What follows is a collection of criminal hotness that could seriously singe your man-bits.

The Compact Disc is an optical disc used to store digital data. It was originally developed to store and playback sound recordings exclusively, but later expanded to encompass storage of data (CD-ROM). Audio CDs and audio CD players have been commercially available since October 1982. From a technical standpoint, a CD is made from 1.2 millimetres (0.047 in) thick, polycarbonate plastic and weighs 15–20 grams. From the center outward, components are: the center spindle hole (15 mm), the first-transition area (clamping ring), the clamping area (stacking ring), the second-transition area (mirror band), the program (data) area, and the rim. The inner program area occupies a radius from 25 to 58 mm.

A poncho is an outer garment designed to keep the body warm or, if made from a watertight material, to keep dry during rain. Ponchos have been used by the Native American peoples of the Andes since pre-Hispanic times and are nowadays considered typical South American garments. The poncho is essentially a single large sheet of fabric with an opening in the center for the head with a piece of fabric that covers the head. Rainproof ponchos normally are fitted with fasteners to close the sides once the poncho is draped over the body, with openings provided for the arms; many have hoods attached to ward off wind and rain.

Mark Zable started with "unhealthy food tastes good" they same way Einstein started with "I don't think space is flat," chasing the thought through an insane level of work to a reality-redefining result: deep-fried beer. This is less a fried snack than a personal vendetta against the organ transplant industry. It took Zable three years to work out the recipe because his experimentally fried protosnacks kept exploding. Returning to the same place full of explosions three years running for a ridiculous reason technically means he's an action hero.

Did you know that red hair occurs on approximately 1–2% of the human population? It occurs more frequently (2–6%) in people of northern or western European ancestry, and less frequently in other populations. Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in the MC1R protein. Two studies have demonstrated that people with red hair have different sensitivity to pain compared to people with other hair colors. One study found that people with red hair are more sensitive to thermal pain, associated with naturally occurring low vitamin K levels. Researchers have found that people with red hair require greater amounts of anesthetic. Other research publications have concluded that women with naturally red hair require less of the painkiller pentazocine than do either women of other hair colors or men of any hair color. A study showed women with red hair had a greater analgesic response to that particular pain medication than men.

On that note, we've all heard some variation of this myth, which claims that while men meet their sexual peak in their teens and early 20s, women don't hit the same apex of horniness until a decade or more later. Science that justifies cougars -- what could be wrong with that? Well, everything, as it turns out. This myth likely originates from the fact that testosterone peaks at 18 and estrogen peaks in a woman's mid-20s. So boys tend to be at their age of maximum boning right around the freshman year of college, while girls don't hit the same peak until they're old enough to appreciate the humor of Courteney Cox. According to Dr. Marc Goldstein of Cornell University, hormones don't decide when you hit your sexual apex. People aren't soda bottles that just reach a point of maximum pressure and then pop. Your "sexual peak" has more to do with your attitude toward sex and level of experience, which is one reason millions of awkward young men spend their entire sexual prime on a computer.

A window is a transparent or translucent opening in a wall or door that allows the passage of light and, if not closed or sealed, air and sound. Windows are usually glazed or covered in some other transparent or translucent material like float glass. Windows are held in place by frames, which prevent them from collapsing in. Many glazed windows may be opened, to allow ventilation, or closed, to exclude inclement weather. A window with a hinged sash that swings in or out like a door comprising either a side-hung, top-hung, or occasionally bottom-hung sash or a combination of these types, sometimes with fixed panels on one or more sides of the sash.

Yeah, nowadays almost everyone has a fetish. They’re more ubiquitous than the iPhone and almost as trendy. Even extreme and bizarre fetishes are considered more and more acceptable by the day. That’s why certain fetishists have had to go to the absolute extreme to get their taboo kicks. After all, in a society that allows consenting adults to do just about anything together, the final frontier consists of sexual fetishes> -- I say combine the choing and amputee fetish this way they can't fight back -- that could very well get you or someone else killed.

A louver (from the French l'ouvert; "the open one") is a window, blind or shutter with horizontal slats that are angled to admit light and air, but to keep out rain, direct sunshine, and noise. The angle of the slats may be adjustable, usually in blinds and windows, or fixed. Louvers originated in the Middle Ages as lantern-like constructions in wood that were fitted on top of roof holes in large kitchens to allow ventilation while keeping out rain and snow. They were originally rather crude constructions consisting merely of a barrel. Later they evolved into more elaborate designs made of pottery, taking the shape of faces where the smoke and steam from cooking would pour out through the eyes and mouth, or into constructions that were more like modern louvers, with slats that could be opened or closed by pulling on a string. More modern louver windows comprise slats of glass, opened and closed with a metal lever, or they may be shutters of wood, plastic or other material.

Homelessness describes the condition of people without a regular dwelling. People who are homeless are unable or unwilling to acquire and maintain regular, safe, and adequate housing, or lack "fixed, regular, and adequate night-time residence." The legal definition of "homeless" varies from country to country, or among different entities or institutions in the same country or region. The term homeless may also include people whose primary night-time residence is in a homeless shelter, a warming center, a domestic violence shelter or other ad hoc housing situation. but does not include living on your own plot of land without a house. American Government homeless enumeration studies also include persons who sleep in a public or private place not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings. In western countries the large majority of homeless are men (75-80%), with single males particularly overrepresented.

Soviet Sergeant Mikhail Surkov, the best and most prominent sniper of World War II, killed seven hundred and two German soldiers and officers – an entire Nazi battalion! Lyudmila Pavlyuchenko, the most successful female sniper is credited with three hundred and nine kills. Twenty of the best Soviet snipers took the lives of eight thousand five hundred Nazis – that’s three German regiments! Hundreds of thousands of German troops were indeed killed by Soviet snipers. However, a WWII sniper is not some lone wolf-shooter who crawls the battlefield under his own unguided direction, killing the enemy from an ambush. Every sniper has to first master the craft of a soldier: be able to belly crawl hundreds of yards, run fast, learn camouflage and concealment techniques and, of course, shoot perfectly from any position.

You know, I sat here this morning and spent a good ten minutes trying to figure out who I hates more, pretty boy Tom Brady or classless Bill Belichick. Hell if I could come up with an answer, so I guess I hate them both equally? And on a related note, if SOPA/PIPA had passed, that father would have been facing a 5 year jail sentence plus a hefty fine up to $15,000,000, all in the name of copyright infringement.

Shotgunning is a means of consuming a canned beverage, particularly beer, very quickly by punching a hole in the side of the can. With this method, it is possible to easily drink a canned beverage in under 10 seconds. A related technique, strawpedoing, is used for containers not easily punctured such as a glass bottle. A straw is inserted into the bottle to similar effect. The technique works since a literal bottle neck is created where air entering the container to release pressure must travel through the same orifice as liquid leaving. The extra holes allows air to enter simultaneously as liquid leaves the main hole. In the East Coast of the United States, beer funnel is another term for beer bong. "Funneling" a beer involves pouring an entire beer into a funnel attached to a tube, in which a person then consumes the beer via the tube.

A butter knife refers to any non-serrated table knife designed with a dull edge and rounded point; formal flatware patterns make a distinction between such a place knife (or table knife) and a butter knife. In this usage, a butter knife (or master butter knife) is a sharp-pointed, dull edged knife, often with a sabre shape, used only to serve out pats of butter from a central butter dish to individual diners' plates. Master butter knives are not used to spread the butter onto bread: this would contaminate the butter remaining in the butter dish when the next pat of butter was served. Rather, diners at the breakfast, the luncheon, and the informal dinner table use an individual butter knife to apply butter to their bread. Individual butter knives have a round point, so as not to tear the bread, and are sometimes termed butter spreaders. If no butter spreaders are provided, a dinner knife may be used as an alternative.

Lemmy Kilmister is the 66-year-old frontman of Motorhead, an all around hard rock legend and a lifelong poster boy for friendly mutton chops. He is one of the very few true rock 'n' roll icons of the olden times who not only still grace the land of the living, but also are actually still actively doing their thing. He is also, with the possible exception of Keith Richards, by far the most unlikely person to actually do so. Lemmy drinks at least one bottle of whiskey a day, and he's done it for over 35 years. The food he consumes is equally unhealthy: He loathes vegetables and eats mainly meats and cheese, with the occasional cake or biscuit thrown in, administered on a "however much he likes, whenever he likes it" basis. He's been smoking since he was 11. He does copious amounts of drugs daily, and has done so for decades.

And since it's Ronald Reagan's birthday...

Curtain rods can be made of many materials including- wood, metal and plastic. Curtain rods come in almost endless styles and designs. Not all curtain rods are simple straight poles, curved and hinged poles are available from numerous companies, allowing installation in bay windows and around curved walls and corners. Curtain rods can also be of a crane or swing arm design. Prices and quality of curtain rods are as varied as designs from inexpensive big box store products to high end specialty products made by companies catering to interior designers and architects.

World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the fourth released game set in the fantasy Warcraft universe, which was first introduced by Warcraft: Orcs & Humans in 1994. Blizzard Entertainment announced World of Warcraft on September 2, 2001. The game was released on November 23, 2004, on the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise. According to one of Yee's 2005 studies, 84 percent of "World of Warcraft" players are male, and 16 percent are female. The average player's age is 28, and female players tend to be a few years older than male players. Regardless of their gender, players spend an average of 21 to 22 hours a week playing the game.

Crowd psychology is a branch of social psychology. Ordinary people can typically gain direct power by acting collectively. Historically, because large groups of people have been able to bring about dramatic and sudden social change in a manner that bypasses established due process, they have also provoked controversy. Social scientists have developed several different theories for explaining crowd psychology, and the ways in which the psychology of the crowd differs significantly from the psychology of those individuals within it. Carl Jung coined the notion of the Collective unconscious. At a general level, crowd psychology is concerned with the behaviour and thought processes of individual crowd members and the crowd as a whole. Given the prevalence of crowd events, and the potential safety issues associated with such large gatherings of people, the topic is receiving increasing attention from agencies responsible for crowd management and also from governments.

The Web seems obsessed by all things Russian at the moment, so what could kindle our curiosity more than a selection of torture devices from that colossal country, preserved for our pleasure? OK, so they're more Spanish Inquisition than KGB interrogation, but that makes little difference when all we care about is how sadistically sick they are.

And remember, the Susan G Komen foundation didn't cut off their funding to Planned Parenthood because of their new VP Karen Handel's uber conservative anti-abortion political grandstanding, but because of a new policy regarding Planned Parenthood is being investigated by Congress. All this from the folks who have so much money, they'll sue your non-profit if you include the phrase "for the cure." CLEARLY, they have so much money now, that they don't need mine any longer. And so normally while I'm very pro-gun, I do wish they'd stick their pink guns up their ass, along with any other fucking items under the sun they want to pink-wash in an effort to bilk funds from people. The only stupid thing left for the Komen Fund to do is buy the DVD rental business from Netflix. So with any luck, that Karen Handel cunt will get ass cancer.

In semi-related news, Representative Raul Labrador (ID) is my new fucking hero.

Symmetry generally conveys two primary meanings. The first is an imprecise sense of harmonious or aesthetically pleasing proportionality and balance; such that it reflects beauty or perfection. The second meaning is a precise and well-defined concept of balance or "patterned self-similarity" that can be demonstrated or proved according to the rules of a formal system: by geometry, through physics or otherwise. Although the meanings are distinguishable in some contexts, both meanings of "symmetry" are related and discussed in parallel. The precise notions of symmetry have various measures and operational definitions. For example, symmetry may be observed: with respect to the passage of time; as a spatial relationship; through geometric transformations such as scaling, reflection, and rotation; through other kinds of functional transformations; and as an aspect of abstract objects, theoretic models, language, music and even knowledge itself.

So we're now only two days away from Super Bowl XLVI -- or as I like to think of it, only a few days away from either Boston or New York losing a championship. And while I always enjoy watching fans in New York suffer the agony of defeat, this year there's an even bigger storyline that you'll be hearing about until next Monday: the rematch. Yes, as we all know—and as we all will be reminded 500 times this week, then another 200-300 times during the game next Sunday—this year's Super Bowl is a rematch of Super Bowl XLII back in 2008. So to celebrate Brady vs. Manning Part II -- and just for the record I don't mind if the Patriots win, just so long as Tom Brady suffers a paralysing injury in the first quarter. Otherwise? GO. ELI. MANNING. Anyway, I thought it might be nice to do a list of classic championship rematches.

Ziploc is a brand of reusable, re-sealable zipper storage bags and containers originally developed by Dow Chemical Company, and now produced by S. C. Johnson & Son.

The brand offers sandwich bags, snack bags and other bags for various purposes.

The Rastafari movement or Rasta is a new religious movement that arose in the 1930s in Jamaica, a country with a predominantly Christian culture where 98% of the people were the black descendants of slaves. Most of its adherents worship Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia, as God incarnate, the Second Advent, or the reincarnation of Jesus. Ethiopia was seen as a model by emerging African states of the 1950s and 1960s, as it was one of the oldest independent states in Africa and thus the flag of Ethiopia as was used during Selassie's reign. It combines the conquering lion of Judah, symbol of the Ethiopian monarchy, with green, yellow, and red, which would later be adopted by many African nations, becoming pan-African colors.

Charms Blow Pops are lollipops with bubble gum centers surrounded by a hard candy shell. The candy was popularized by The Charms Company, which was acquired by Tootsie Roll Industries in 1988. Invention of the candy is attributed to Thomas Tate Tidwell in 1966, with the patent issued in November 1969. The candy was originally manufactured by the Triple T Candy Company and sold under the brand name "Triple Treat." The new brand name Charms Blow Pops was introduced in 1973 and are sold individually or in bags. Single pops are available in .65-ounce or 1.35-ounce (Super Blow Pop) sizes. There are five original flavors: cherry, grape, sour apple, strawberry, and watermelon.

In regards to my what kind of fruit are these question from yesterday:

A foam hand, also known as a foam finger, is a sports paraphernalia item worn on the hand to show support for a particular team. The most common version resembles an oversized hand with an extended index finger. Usually the surface displays a silk-screened team name, logo, or other graphic or slogan, such as "We Are #1." Foam hands are made of open-celled foam; slits in their bases allow them to be worn. Besides being sold at all manner of sporting events and venues as souvenirs, foam fingers are used as fund-raisers for schools and booster clubs as well as corporate promotions. Invented by Geral Fauss in 1978, who originally created the giant finger out of plywood.

Shadowgraphy is the art of performing a story or show using images made by hand shadows. It can be called "cinema in silhouette". Performers of the art are often called a shadowgraphist or shadowgrapher. The art has declined since the late 19th century when electricity became available to homes because light bulbs and electric lamps do not give off good shadows and also because cinema and television were becoming a new form of entertainment. Shadows are greatly defined by candlelight and therefore hand shadows were common in earlier centuries.

The Samsung Galaxy S II is a smartphone running under the Android operating system that was announced by Samsung on February 13, 2011 at the Mobile World Congress. It is the successor to the Samsung Galaxy S, with a different appearance and significantly improved hardware. The Galaxy S II was one of the slimmest smartphones of the time, mostly 8.49 mm thick, except for two small bulges which take the total thickness of the phone to 9.91 mm. On the back of the device is an 8-megapixel Back-illuminated sensor camera with single-LED flash that can record videos in full high-definition 1080p at 30 frames per second. There is also a fixed focus front-facing 2-megapixel camera for video calling, taking photos as well as general video recording, with a maximum resolution of VGA (640×480).

Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge (Cladium mariscus), rushes, or heather, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof. It is a very old roofing method and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates. Thatch is still employed by builders in developing countries, usually with low-cost, local vegetation. By contrast in some developed countries it is now the choice of affluent people who desire a rustic look for their home, would like a more ecologically friendly roof, or who have purchased an originally thatched abode.

An air conditioner is a home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to dehumidify and extract heat from an area. The cooling is done using a simple refrigeration cycle. In construction, a complete system of heating, ventilation and air conditioning is referred to as "HVAC". For residential homes, some countries set minimum requirements for energy efficiency. In the United States, the efficiency of air conditioners is often (but not always) rated by the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). The higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient is the air conditioner. The SEER rating is the BTU of cooling output during its normal annual usage divided by the total electric energy input in watt hours (W·h) during the same period. Today, it is rare to see systems rated below SEER 9 in the United States, since older units are being replaced with higher-efficiency units. The United States now requires that residential systems manufactured in 2006 have a minimum SEER rating of 13, although window-box systems are exempt from this law, so their SEER is still around 10.

And the calls for the White House to investigate charges of bribery? Yeah, that's be "no comment" as usual. Dylan Ratigan said it best, GET THE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. And at the risk of sounding gay, I'd suck that man's dick.

Tattoo inks consist of pigments combined with a carrier, and are used in tattooing. Tattoo inks are available in a range of colors that can be thinned or mixed together to produce other colors and shades. Most professional tattoo artists purchase inks pre-made (known as pre-dispersed) inks, while some tattooers mix their own using a dry pigment and a carrier. In the United States, tattoo inks are subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as cosmetics and color additives. The FDA and medical practitioners have noted that many ink pigments used in tattoos are "industrial strength colors suitable for printers or automobile paint." In California, Proposition 65 requires that Californians be warned before exposure to certain harmful chemicals; tattoo parlors in California must warn their patrons that tattoo inks contain heavy metals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

Quick! What was the most important accomplishment of the 20th century, besides discovering a way to get cheese inside of hot dogs? Landing on the moon, of course. When Apollo 11 touched down on July 20, 1969, the whole world gasped in wonder, therefore causing the global warming that we're now suffering from today. But it was worth it for the pictures. And now think about this: Like the video of your first unassisted steps, the original footage of the moon landing was taped over. We know what you're thinking ... we've all seen the footage of the moon landing. How can it be lost? Well, what we have is an extremely shitty copy, like if the world's only surviving copy of Star Wars was a glitchy VHS recording made off of TV. The original, high-quality version is gone forever.

Cold water causes the constriction of peripheral blood vessels and collection of blood around the major organs of the heart and brain while hot water causes the expansion and relaxation of blood vessels. As a result of these changes in blood vessels your blood pressure will also be altered by changes in water temperature. When you get into a cold pool of water you may initially be gasping for breath. This is a result of the constriction of blood vessels in your lungs and the general mass changes of blood flow in your body as your peripheral blood vessels constrict.

Energizer Holdings is an American manufacturer of batteries and personal care products, headquartered in Town and Country, Missouri. The company has its foundation in the Eveready Battery Company, which in 1986 had been sold to animal and human food manufacturer Ralston Purina. In 2000, Ralston spun off Eveready, and it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange as Energizer Holdings, Inc. In 2003 under the leadership of then Chief Executive Officer J. Patrick Mulcahy, Energizer Holdings started expanding into the personal care product sector by buying razor brands Schick and Wilkinson Sword from Pfizer. In October 2007, the company acquired Playtex Products, Inc. for $1.9 billion.
